Hinteregger pushes fan over

The 32-year-old former international knocked over a fan in the game against Mittlern in mid-September, and the man affected filed a criminal complaint against the former Frankfurt professional. The Carinthian Association’s penalty committee then suspended Hinteregger until all the circumstances surrounding the alleged push were clarified.

“The suspension could have lasted up to a year or longer and was absolutely excessive.
